tl;dr from the article:
- Auracast is a feature of the Bluetooth LE Audio standard that enables broadcasting audio to nearby devices.
- Android added basic support for Bluetooth LE Audio in Android 13, including support for starting and connecting to audio streams.
- Android 15 could get a dedicated page for audio sharing, signaling that Auracast could be a key feature of the new OS.
Screenshots from the article of how the feature would look like:
The number one feature I want disabled elis that fuckin log in with Google on every page that loads these days
I didn’t realize that was an Android feature. I thought it was something that the sites themselves used.
I don’t think it’s an Android feature. It shows up on desktop as well.
I once found a ublock filter for that, but only for one specific site. I’ll see if I can get it to work for any site
It is constant, the only way I know of is to log in and disable it in your account settings which makes it an absolute balls in terms of privacy.
Add “accounts.google.com/gsi/$3p” to the My filters page in uBO, it should block that nonsense on every page.
